Yo
We at war
We at war with terrorism
Racism
But most of all
We at war with ourselves
God show me the way
Because the Devil's tryin' to
break me down
Yeah
You know what the
Midwest is Young & Restless
Where restless
might snatch your necklace
And next these
might jack your Lexus
Somebody tell these
who Kanye West is
I walk through the valley
of the Chi where death is
Top floor the view alone
will leave you breathless
Uh
Try to catch it
Uh
It's kinda hard
Gettin' choked by
detectives yeah yeah
Now check the method
They be askin' us questions
Harass and arrest us
Sayin' we eat pieces
like you for breakfast huh
Y'all eat pieces of ****
What's the basis
We ain't goin' nowhere
But got suits and cases
A trunk full of ****
rental car from Avis
My mama used to say
only Jesus can save us
Well mama
I know I act a fool
But I'll be gone 'til November
I got packs to move I hope
God show me the way
Because the Devil's tryin' to
break me down
The only thing that I pray
is that me feet
don't fail me now
And I don't think there's
nothin' I can do now
to right my wrongs
I want to talk to God
But I'm afraid because
we ain't spoke in so long
God show me the way
Because the Devil's tryin' to
break me down
The only thing that I pray
is that me feet
don't fail me now
And I don't think there's
nothin' I can do now
to right my wrongs
I want to talk to God
But I'm afraid because
we ain't spoke in so long
So long
So long
To the hustlas killers
To murderers drug dealers
even the strippers
To the victims of Welfare
For we livin' in **** yeah
**** yeah
Now hear ye hear ye
Wanna see Thee more clearly
I know he hear me
when my feet get weary
'Cause we're the
almost nearly extinct
We rappers is role models
We rap we don't think
I ain't here to argue
about his facial features
Or here to convert atheists
into believers
I'm just tryin' to say the way
school need teachers the way
Kathie Lee needed Regis
That's the way I need Jesus
So here go my single dog
radio needs this
They say you can rap about
anything except for Jesus
That means guns sex
lies video tapes
But if I talk about God my
record won't get played huh
Well let this take away
from my spins
Which will probably take away
from my ends
Then I hope this take away
from my sins
And bring the day that
I'm dreamin' about
Next time I'm in the club
Everybody screamin' out
God show me the way
because the Devil's
tryin' to break me down
The only thing that I pray
is that me feet
don't fail me now
